Game Day DAY 1 LIVE - 2018 NAB AFL Draft - Round 1, Thursday 22/11 12PM AEDT

[Westlo]

Thrilled for the Tiges. Needed a big mid.the Carlton Adelaide trade depends entirely on the finishing positions next year. It could blow up on either club and be a disaster, but wont know for a while.

I don't think adelaide have much to worry about.

 

[Bic]

Can't wait for Adelaide to return to their 2017 form.

I hope you don't like to gamble.

 

[HFF]

Well this had a bit of everything.
5mins per pick was a farce, Seriously.

Sydney / WCE pick swap-- a farce too.
How it passed the "reasonableness" test to allow pick 26 to be traded fo a future 3rd rounder and then effectively swapped back is laughable. In trade week that trade in isolation wouldn't have been allowed. Clever but farcical.

Carlton-- wowee. This was the LOLs moment of 2018 so far.
They're almost a lock for a top 3 pick again in 2019......this one could be a disaster if they continue their shite form and Crows have just a reasonable year. If they have a top 8 finish year the Crows...ouch.

 

[Bic]

No way he is worth a top 2 pick lol

You clearly don't grasp what the actual trade was.

It's hard dealing with all the experts here.

 

[John Wayne II]

People going way OTT on that Carlton Adelaide trade, I see it as a big risk for both clubs, Carlton obviously backing themselves in to have a decent year. For all we know Carlton finish above Adelaide and laugh like ****.

 

[Leviathan Pie]

This has been deplorable from the AFL, tonight a total **** up. And the fact everyone needs to wait for the rest of the rank & file to be selected.

Extraordinary. Putrid.

 

[Darksidepoints]

That could of easily been done and dusted in an hour.


Shambles.

 

[Westlo]

Crouch alone will lift Adelaide up the ladder more than all your additions combined.

 

[TW Sherrin]

SOS the gift that keeps on giving.

 

[unplugged]

I reckon Carlton will kick themselves when someone comes up to them and tells them they would've traded pick ~8 for their 2019 first rounder.

Was it just SOS or what. Whoever is responsible needs to take responsibility publicly so that they can take the future praise or criticism that comes with it.

 

[RUNVS]

God I hope Valente is available at pick 25. Only 2 clubs in front of the Swans, and I have no idea if Adelaide or West Coast will want an inside midfielder. Ian Hill is still on the board and I imagine Adelaide and West Coast might consider him too.

 

[Heaps of fun]

Good for Adelaide next year but I think considering the picks they had to walk away with Jones and McHenry only tonight is pretty disappointing for them.

 

[Bulldog1954]

Staggered that a side that won two games would trade next year's first.

 

[Ticky009]

They traded for different picks. Dodgy - but follows the rules. Good on Sydney and West Coast for using the system to their advantage.

Viva la interstate cooperation!

We are done drafting after this year...

We will trade our future firsts for a while.

 

[John Wayne II]

lol this has potential to be the worst trade ever.

Worst case scenario

Stocker = bust
Carlton finish last
Adelaide win the flag
Adelaide draft a generational talent
Calrton get another Bokeherst

It can be half as bad as the above and still be an absolutely shit trade

Stocker = Generational Talent
Adelaide finish last
Carlton win the flag
Adelaide draft a Boekhorst
Carlton draft another Stocker

It can be half as bad as the above and still be an absolutely shit trade

 

[John Wayne II]

Viva la interstate cooperation!

Oui Oui

First round pretty much went very much to predictions for most players, so no real surprises for me.

Carlton making that trade for Stocker was curious. Don't get me wrong he is a solid player. Carlton's midfield is near set, have two grunt players in Cripps and Stoker. Cripps, Walsh are ball magnets. Not sure where Dow sits at the moment, but as a type probably sits in between the others. Curnow offers some class. Just feel that need one more outside player/class/damaging speed type to close it off. Not sure giving up a potential 2019 top 5 pick for one in the teens this year is the best move. They must have liked and rated Stocker that much as on paper they potentially paid overs. Definitely a cheeky finger to the Tigers as no doubt Stocker was on the top of their wish list.

Shambles.

Could've been done in ten minutes if they wanted, but I guess they wanted to be able to show highlights and interview every draftee, without talking over the top of picks going off in the background as has been the case in the past.

It was probably a good way for these boys to get their time, but it was painfully slow, absolutely.

 

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

So many blinkered flogs on this site.

 

[Wild Bill]

Boakhorst 2.0!!

Thought the same thing - was he pick 19 as well?

 

[PremiershipTigers]

Clearly not. That, or it doesn't suit the LOLCARLTANK narrative.

So what? Pick 1/2 for 8 & 19 is the dumbest trade ever

 

[Mazza1234678]

The afl really need to stop copying the NFL, this 2 day draft bullshit is ****ing embarrassing

We aren't in the same stratosphere as the NFL

That all may happen next year and we look like idiots, and then who knows, stocker might play in a couple of flags by the end of his career.....then is it a bad move?
